If this is a container that actually does exist and has a volume attached, verify the path to the volume is valid. When the path is no longer valid, the Synology Docker GUI will not start the container and simply states “Container does not exist”.

/config

/root/.ssh

I mount this folder so I can store the keys that are trusted on remote devices
